We are excited to announce that Law.com has gone global with the launch today of Law.com International, a new website that allows readers to understand the key happenings in the legal industry around the world, while also drilling down into the regions most important to them.
Under our new International offering, we will bring you the same great content you have come to expect from Legal Week out of London and Hong Kong, now with additional content from reporters on the ground throughout six core regions: the UK, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East/Africa and North America. The content will focus on in-house legal departments, the business of law, regulatory climates, legal technology, international arbitration and more.
Law firms and corporations doing business internationally will now be able to access news, analysis and data about key happenings in the global legal markets from reporters on the ground in those locations. This coverage allows readers to know what it is like to do business in key regions and how the news connects across global markets.
"The world's top law firms are international businesses and general counsel roles are responsible for operations globally," said Paul Hodkinson, editor-in-chief of Legal Week, the U.K. arm of Law.com International. "We want to reflect the global nature of what they do in our coverage."
Our international editors based in London, Hong Kong and New York will work closely with reporters in those regions as well as Sydney, Paris, Brussels, Mexico City, Germany, Canada and elsewhere as the team actively looks to expand. In addition to the news, analysis, market reports and data projects such as the Global 200, our editors crystallize global events in our weekly briefings, The Global Lawyer and The Asia Legal Briefing.
To hear more from our senior international editors about their predictions for the global legal industry in 2020, sign up for our free webinar this Thursday, January 30.
